Solution Overview
Storage is probably one of the most significant areas of change for vCloud customers, and therefore is of most interest to VMware Cloud Providers. The aim of this paper is to provide guidance to service providers in developing a strategic approach to transforming storage infrastructure with vSAN for VMware Cloud Providers. The key benefits of the features discussed in this white paper include:
• Service providers can increase storage resource efficiency, simplicity, agility, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in their VMware vCloud® environments by leveraging vSAN.
• vSAN integrates with and enhances vCloud Director functionality through Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM).
• vSAN, when employed with vCloud Director, can provide the foundation for improved storage agility, service offerings, and efficiency in VMware Cloud Provider Program deployments.
